Comments/Problems:
I installed using an image located at:
http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/i386/current/sarge-i386-
netinst.iso
The date of this image is: 7-22-2004
The CD booted fine. I ran the following at the boot prompt:
Press F1 for help, or ENTER to boot: linux26
The very first menu asking to "[!!] Choose language" displayed very funny.
Instead of a gray box with all the choices in it, it gave a grey box with
the right edge missing some of the grey... :) It's hard to explain...
something like this:
[!!] Choose language |
|
Choose a language |
|
Albanian - Albanian |
Arabic - |
Basque - Euskaraz |
Bosnian - Bosanski |
Bulgarian - |
Catalan - Catal[ # |
Chinese (Simplified) - () |
Chinese (Traditional) - () |
Croation - Hrvatski |
Czech - etina |
Danish - Dansk |
Dutch - Nederlands |
English - English |
Farsi - |
Finnish - Suomeksi |
French - Frantais |
Galician - Galego |
German - Deutsch |
Greek - |
|
|

)))))))))))))))))BIG BLACK LINE HERE)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Some of the letters that are typed above, i.e. under the heading "French", I
have typed "Frantais", but there is no "t" displaying, it is an "i" with a
"~" above it. Please excuse my ignorance of the correct naming of the
letter. Where you see a blank, it displays nothing, where in the last image
I tested "7-20-2004" it displayed the actual writing in the actual language
that was representative of it's English equivalent.
As I continued through the menus, it displayed similar "right edge"
problems.
The other problem I had was that GRUB would not install properly to my RAID
array. As mentioned above, I have a Adaptec 2120S RAID Controller hooked up
to 3x Seagate 73.4 GB U320SCSI 68PIN 10K SEA-ST373307LW drives. The drives
are configured into a single RAID5 Volume and detected by the installer as
such. However, grub fails to load with a "Fatal Error"
In the third terminal it is showing the same error I had on earlier di
snapshots, "The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly." I already have
a bug report on this issue: #259297,
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=259297
I just wanted to submit a bug on the "graphical" menu driven installer
display errors.

This and the GRUB install problem were errors on last days images.
The 20040722 image is correct regarding the diaply issue and the
20040721 was correct regarding GRUB.
Hence closing this installation report, as both reported issues are
now fixed.
Many thanks for your time testing Debian Installer
